Leading the Industry in CBRN Technology

Since 1990, Research International, Inc. has been at the forefront of CBRNe technology and innovation. Located near Seattle in the city of Monroe, Washington, Research International is based in an 18,000 square-foot facility supporting manufacturing and R&D, with a team of dedicated engineers and scientists specializing in CBRNe technology.

Our focus areas include sensors and instrumentation for measuring chemical, biological, and physical parameters, with over 20 years of experience designing and manufacturing discrete sensor devices and integrated CBRNe systems. Our primary focus is equipment for worldwide counter-terrorism efforts, ranging from handheld sampling and detection equipment to large monitoring systems for mail threat screening and public infrastructure protection.

We specialize in contract research and development, with particular expertise in the following areas:

Development of new and innovative optical chemical, biological, and other parameter sensors

Extensive microparticle air sampling capability to collect biological and radiological samples from the air

Advanced technology to manage airflows in air samplers, detectors, and CBRNe systems to insure agents are reliably detected by installed sensors

Concept-to-Market Product Development

Research International has the capability to rapidly transform a concept into brass board technology, refine it, test it, and deliver a finished product to the world market. Our facility supports rapid prototyping with in-house design and development, testing labs, and a fully equipped machine shop.

Experts in Collection, Detection, and Identification

We develop, manufacture, and sell a wide range of microparticle wet and dry air samplers, biological detectors and identifiers, including several CBRN point sensor instruments. Our machine vision instruments accurately and rapidly read lateral flow test results for the fastest possible results.

Fully Automated and Integrated Systems

We specialize in CBRNe infrastructure protection systems for mailrooms, subways, train stations, stadium venues, and more. Our software engineers make it all easy to use with an intuitive control interface that monitors all instruments and keeps operators informed of any threat.

Business Objectives

We are committed to the development of new leading edge technology-based products in the area of physical and chemical sensing, with special emphasis on mobile, cloud-based, and robotic solutions.
